Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

Chapter 513 Hold Your Breath

512
Two weeks after the release of the Final Fantasy 7 movie, Facebook's video division released its latest sales figures.

The number of user subscriptions has soared to 300 million, half of whom have chosen annual subscriptions.

And these 300 million users are real cash flow, which is a very big surprise for a video department that has had no movement before.

And it is undeniable that the Final Fantasy 7 movie version is the biggest contributor.

Just relying on this movie has successfully attracted countless users to sign up.

Of course, the video section isn't just about the Final Fantasy 7 movie.

After these users watched the Final Fantasy 7 movie version a little bit, they found that in addition to these movie versions, there are many classic movies and TV series to watch.

Anyway, their members have already subscribed, so don't read it for nothing.

Then they suddenly felt as if the subscription was worth it.

At least I can now have so many movies and TV dramas to enjoy constantly, and there are endless movie and TV dramas.

Moreover, according to the preview of the root website, there will be many movies and TV dramas that will be launched in the future.

The video department was also refreshed, and immediately became very active in work.

They were just a marginal department before.

But now after they achieved a very terrifying profit, they were immediately promoted to a higher-level department by the Facebook headquarters, and their importance was also raised a notch.

The next step is to start tilting funds toward the video sector.

Zhu Youxing also suggested that the video department set up a shooting team by itself. If necessary, his own Unreal Engine team can also provide some help. Of course, this requires payment.

After all, the cost of your own engine is not low, and this thing still has to be accounted for.

This time it can be said to be a win-win situation.

Facebook suddenly found a new profit point, and the fame of Final Fantasy 7 was completely launched.

This is not over yet.

Because someone posted on the Internet that there are movie theaters in Japan where the Final Fantasy 7 movie was released, many movie theaters in Japan were also full.

Before these movie theaters, they just listened to the government's words and released the movie. There was no publicity, and they didn't take it too seriously.

But I didn't expect this to become a chicken that lays golden eggs.

Every day, the movie version of Final Fantasy 7 is full, and even the cinema has special seats, which can be called standing tickets in short.

A bit cheaper, but also adds more income.

This income is nothing to Zhu Youxing, but these movie theaters are happy.

Originally, after the bubble burst, their lives became tighter, and people's desire to go to the cinema was greatly reduced. Although this is already a relatively cheap way of entertainment consumption, the number of people who patronize the cinema is still not as large as before.

Now it is suddenly full again, which is really rare.

The movie version of Final Fantasy 7, just like the previous Final Fantasy 7 games, has produced a very strong effect, whether it is market feedback, or the word of mouth from players before, and the high evaluation of this movie version by non-players, all let this The level of film has been raised.

And the so-called professional filmmakers who laughed at the film before began to be ridiculed in turn.

With the real data in front of them, even if they want to say something, they don't seem to have any confidence.

Now, according to the latest figures, the direct benefit of Final Fantasy 7 is likely to exceed $[-] million.

This is not a mere $[-] million in box office revenue, but the pure revenue from Facebook and the revenue from the physical version.

And this time, Zhu Youxing did not shy away from publishing the data completely.

The cassette movie version of Final Fantasy 7 sold over one million copies within two weeks, and the CD version reached more than 60.

This is a bit outrageous, and there are very few products with millions of sales in the video rental market. Final Fantasy should be the first movie that Take Yusei participated in the production of.

Only the first film has achieved such a market response, and now who dares to say that Zhu Yuxing does not have any qualifications to direct the filming?
Asking how many people in the world can make their debut in the film industry is the pinnacle.

Some people even began to suggest that Zhu Yuxing should participate in the production of game movies in the future.

They are very much looking forward to Zhuyouxing's release of such excellent works as Final Fantasy 7 in the future.

During this process, the audience was happy, the movie theater owner who released the Final Fantasy 7 movie was happy, the video department of Facebook was happy, and it goes without saying that Zhu Yuxing was also very happy. Welcomed by the world, recognized by the world.

But as for continuing to make movies, let’s talk about it. Zhu Youxing’s main business is not this. The reason why he made the movie version of Final Fantasy 7 is just a very simple original intention, which is to let people in this world recognize what he liked in his previous life. It's just something.

Now that the original intention has been completed, whether I will continue to make movies in the future will have to wait until I have time to make games.

Video games are their foundation.

While everyone is happy, there are still people who are unhappy.

And the unhappy one was Alfonso, along with several other filmmakers who had boycotted the Final Fantasy 7 movie before.

After all, movies are entertainment products.

A movie can be artistic, or it can be a real work of art.

But it is the mature commercial market that drives the progress of the entire film industry.

And Final Fantasy 7 is a very successful commercial film, and the most important thing is that this film has also successfully promoted the development of the entire film industry.

Before Final Fantasy 7, no one thought that full special effects movies should be shot like this. Before, many people were relatively conservative in terms of special effects, and some people still separated animated films from live-action films.

Zhu Youxing was the first person to eat crabs.

And now it is very embarrassing for filmmakers that an act that produced an industry breakthrough turned out to come from a layman's first film work.

This is very ironic.

Or it can be said that genius can shine wherever he goes.

In the game industry, Zhuyouxing is the sky. In the film industry, even if Zhuyouxing can't become the sky, it will be the stratosphere.

Crash.

Alfonso hasn't left home recently, and he's been in a very bad mood recently.

Then he turned on the TV a little and saw the Final Fantasy 7 movie version in it, and at the same time mocked his show, and then his mentality collapsed a little, and then he started to wipe his desk clean with one hand in anger.

The cups and plates shattered on the ground, but the sound of the shattering could not calm Alfonso's anger.
